Tinsel town is in shock. The three blasts that rocked Mumbai Wednesday evening have left Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher mourning for those who lost their lives.

Actors, filmmakers and composers took to micro-blogging site Twitter to share their sentiments on the unforeseen tragedy that left at least 21 people dead and over 100 injured.

Here’s what the stars wrote:

Amitabh Bachchan: “Bomb blasts in Mumbai! God! I hope people are safe!!”

Farhan Akhtar: “Cowards strike again! Condolences to all who have lost someone dear… To the rest, please do not panic. Get home safe.”
